Remembering what I said in my review of “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World”; I thought before I saw the film that maybe Edgar Wright’s work would suffer a bit without his “Spaced,” “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” cohorts Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. As it turned out, I was extremely wrong. “Paul” on the other hand, sees Pegg and Frost writing the script with “Superbad” director Greg Motolla at the helm; no Edgar Wright. While “Paul” succeeds as an enjoyable film with a good handful of laughs (the best stuff all comes in the last 15 minutes of the movie), I would have to say, it would have been interesting to see how much better it might have been in Wright’s hands.(more…)
